i know people who eat less then that with 3 x more cal, for me its just knowing what has what calories and how to get more out of your food. so im eating alot and every 3 to 4 hours sometimes im still full from meals thati have to force myself into eating snack now thats bad...... but i know i have to have the intake in 3-4 hours.
I understand the worry about the low cal intake but as you can see its alot of food, i have hit the wall and i increase movement and intake less fats and add protein it got me thru PLUS i have PCOS and have to intake less and move more becouse its how my body works , hitting the wall all you have to do is move more not eat less calories just have a higher deficit of cal gawd you think i would be skinny knowing all this...........lol i have it so broke down medical wise the trainer was shocked and wanted copies of cal intake to cal burned to loose 1 to 5 lbs a week consuming 1600 cal a day. but i can figure it out at any cal rate. ok my clients ready to leave for workshop need to go will post how to figure it out later.

just a fast hello
It sounds like you are doing great. I agree with your trainer though that you are a very busy woman and doing a lot of exercise to be surviving on 1400 calories. If it works for you and you don't feel hungry then whatever, but it might be tough if you start out that low because what happens if you hit a plateau and stop losing and need to lower your cals again? Anyway it's just something to think about--if you look around these boards a bit I think you will encounter a lot of people successfully losing weight while eating significantly more than you and it might be better for your health. Good luck, all the best and I hope to see ya posting around here.
